Who isn't relatively anti-German? Though I have friends in Germany I find that I am myself so at times. Would that we weren't tied to the...
One advantage to an operation in Madagascar over Ceylon is that we wouldn't need to invade. Holding Madagascar could help inspire Britain's South...
I am beginning to reconsider operations in Madagascar. One point that seems to be evaporating presently: we do not need to conquer Madagascar. It...
I would like to clarify a point: I did not intend to suggest that we should build a naval construction facility in Indochina, merely invest in...
